Decorating With A Fabric Covered Headboard

By Kerri Stout


There several strong advantages to purchasing these bed accessories. A fabric covered headboard is easily maintained and cleaned. They do not cost large sums of money as compared to most of the other metal or wood styles and a wide selection is available in both shops and stores as well as from online sources. The best feature is that no foot board is necessary. Many times it works best to be without one as they block views of scenery through glass windows or doors or obstruct a view to a television screen in the room. Most motel and hotel beds do not have them for exactly this reason. .

There are many advantages to using these bed additions. They are fairly inexpensive as compared to wood or metal styles. They are easily cleaned and maintained. The selections are many and can be found in physical stores and online. No foot board is necessary. In fact, sometimes it is better to be without one as they obstruct views from windows or glass walls or block the view to a television screen. These are exactly some of the reasons that you rarely find foot boards in hotel or motel rooms.

The materials used in the piece look amazing against a painted or wood paneled wall. It enhances the entire appeal of a room by adding texture and personal style. For example, a dark blue style against a light blue wall will absolutely pop and help make the bed a focal point of the entire room.

A variety of styles are available. They can be very simple, ornate, curved, rectangular, high, or low. Sizes can be found or custom made for any size bed whether it be a king, queen, full or twin bed. If you own an irregular size of bed, the headboard can be designed especially for that model.

There is a wide selection of upholstery available and the model can be made with anything from silk, suede, micro-suede, heavy canvas, or polyester. Make your choice of the one that best fits the personality of the room and the person who will be inhabiting it. For example, a young teen girl may really love a purple or pink silk style.

Special touches can make it even more appealing. The more padding used, the more elegant it will look. Deep tufts will also add elegance and a nail head trim can make the impact more traditional. Eliminate any buttons, nail heads or extras for children's styles as they can be pulled off or damaged.

Some variations most don't think of could include floral patterns, checks, plaids, two-tone material, and even an interesting combinations of an upholstered style with a wooden trim. Adding tall headboards can make a tiny, close-in room feel bigger with the illusion of more vertical space. Early American or French Provincial posts can be easily added to the sides of different models so the furnishings will all match. Adding vintage children's print material to the models chosen can add instant impact to a youngster's room.

One of the best and most important advantages of this type of purchase is that changes can be easily and inexpensively made later after a new decor is chosen or different color is desired. An experienced upholsterer will be able to replace the old material with new, keeping the main frame for continued use.
